I will be having my surgery sometime this next month. I have been on the depo shot since I was 24...now 32. Has anyone stayed on it or not lose weight due to it? I have heard it causes weight gain. My issue is that I have no other options...I have endometriosis and ovarian cysts and the shots help keep it at bay...plus I cannot get pregnant again due to my last pregnancy almost killed me. I asked for a hysterectomy but my doctor feels I am too young to lose the hormones right now and recommended

So throughout my 3 months insurance required supervised diet my parents had to move in with me. This has been a very stressful time. I'm trying to lose weight to get approved through my insurance company and I feel like my family is sabotaging me! I'm cutting back calories and eating smarter and buying healthy fresh foods...then I go into my kitchen and there is soda, chips, candy, turnovers, and anything else I shouldn't eat!! They know this is important to me! Besides sitting bad food in front

Met with my surgeon...really liked! As I was walking out of the office the Dr asked a staff member if she knew off the top of her head if Coventry covered Bariatric. She said since it was purchased through the marketplace (I'm self employed and husband isn't offered...so we pay full price ourselves) that they won't cover. Told me she knew 100% they wouldn't cover because I wasn't part of an employee group plan. I walked out of there devastated...cried 2.5 hours home. Cried all night.

I haven't been sleeved yet but I'm wondering if the same things that affect me now will still be there post sleeve. I notice that if I hadn't eaten for a while I will get a splitting headache and not feel good...goes away after getting something to eat. Makes me nervous that I may have constant headaches. Anyone experience this?

So I just had an appt with my pcp. Got his release for surgery and he filled out paperwork for surgeon. I have my appt with Dr. Minkin in St. Louis on Monday...I can't wait!! If I could have the surgery tomorrow I would! I read new posts and old ones every single day just to try to get an understanding of what my life will be like after. I'm so ready to be ME. The ME that I feel underneath all this fat. I look in the mirror and don't know the person looking back at me. I'm so ready for this.
